Broadway Magic Hour

Broadway Magic Hour is New York City’s premier family-friendly magic show, an unforgettable live experience where wonder, laughter, and amazement come together for audiences of all ages. Presented at the Broadway Comedy Club in Times Square, this Off-Broadway style production has quickly become a must-see attraction for parents, grandparents, kids, and anyone who loves the thrill of live entertainment. What makes Broadway Magic Hour so special is the way it blends classic sleight-of-hand artistry, grand illusion, comedy, and mind-reading into one seamless hour of fun. Every show is packed with audience participation—children and adults alike are invited on stage to become part of the magic. Imagine the wide-eyed astonishment of a child floating in mid-air, or the laughter that erupts when a seemingly “burned up” sneaker is magically restored. These moments aren’t just tricks—they’re memories your family will carry long after the curtain falls. The show stars master magicians Jim Vines and Carl Mercurio, two acclaimed performers with decades of experience in magic, comedy, and theatre. Jim, known for his sharp wit and jaw-dropping sleight of hand, has appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and headlined stages across the country. Carl, a veteran entertainer who has wowed audiences at venues including Mohegan Sun, brings warmth, humor, and a magician’s touch to every routine. Together, they create a dynamic, playful, and highly interactive atmosphere where every member of the audience feels connected to the magic. Unlike big Broadway spectacles or screen-based entertainment, Broadway Magic Hour offers something rare in today’s world: live, up-close engagement. Every seat at the Broadway Comedy Club is close to the action, so kids can lean forward, grandparents can laugh along, and parents can relax knowing the experience is designed for all ages. It’s an environment where phones are put away, and real, shared wonder takes center stage. Audiences and critics agree—Broadway Magic Hour is more than a show; it’s an immersive theatrical experience. Time Out New York, NY Daily News, and TripAdvisor reviewers highlight it as one of NYC’s best family outings. Whether you’re a local New Yorker seeking a fresh afternoon activity or a visitor looking to make the most of your trip, this one-hour production is a perfect highlight to any day in the city. The magic happens at the Broadway Comedy Club, 318 West 53rd Street, New York, NY 10019—just steps from the bright lights of Times Square. It’s easy to reach by subway, bus, or taxi—and surrounded by countless restaurants and attractions for a full day of fun. Doors open at 1:30 pm, with the show beginning promptly at 2:00 pm. All seating is general admission, so early arrival is encouraged to secure the best view. Broadway Magic Hour is ideal for birthdays, family outings, school trips, and special celebrations. Many families return again and again, because each performance feels fresh, personal, and unique. The magicians change up their repertoire often, and with audience volunteers at the center of many routines, no two shows are ever quite the same.
